Hop a ride on the Roaring Twenties Boat Cruise!

I really want to share something but I have to work.  I know.  Lame.  So here is my 20s Boat Cruise video I did for my editing class last year.  Questions, comments, concerns?



penicillin for all,

Cry, Little Sister

I'm the worst.  We get it.  Here is what I have been up to:

http://www.reddirtchronicles.com/2011/09/the-2011-imaginary-family-project-%E2%80%93-week-37/

My friend, 25SWF (you should totally read her blog about her dating escapades), told me about the Imaginary Family Project for Red Dirt Chronicles.  Basically, you apply to write for the project & if you are accepted, you choose from a bunch of old photos that Quentin (the guy who runs this awesome project) has and proceed to make up a story about it.  It can be long or short, a poem, a news article - however you want to express the photo in written form.  So I picked the photo of the lady getting kids' clothes out of the back of a car and tied together stories of my mom, grandma, great-grandma, sister, aunties & my imagination.  Even my knowledge of Alfred Hitchcock from Film school played its part.
Hitchcock LOVED stuffing his face & getting blasted here

What else have I been doing?  Well, I have seen all of the Frankie & Annette beach movies you can watch on Instant.  They were awesome!  I have to say, Bikini Beach was probably my favorite.  Unlike Beach Party or How To Stuff A Wild Bikini, Annette seems to be more of an independent lady, Frankie & Annette even have a duet about loving each other for being themselves.  And Annette is feisty and doesn't put up with Frankie's shit!  And he totally goes with it.  Unlike How To Stuff A Wild Bikini where he blatantly cheats on her with island women and she takes this crazy self-righteous stance while he spies on her with Buster Keaton through a pelican.  Beware of Frankie's terrible British accent & hyena laugh as the "Potato Bug".  Don Rickles makes up for it.  Beach Party is still a classic, even when Annette sings her creepy song when Frankie leaves her for the Marilyn doppelganger.  I'm telling you, watch these movies.


I also officially love Arsenic & Old Lace (GREAT Halloween movie).  Cary Grant makes me fall even more in love with him and the hilarious chaos and plot twists clearly influenced The 'Burbs (another favorite).


Also obsessed with Katharine Hepburn and Desk Set (a great Christmas flick!).  First of all, Katharine is always a pleasure.  She's chic & she gets down to the brass tacks.  When she is paired with Spencer Tracey, they are dynamite.  Desk Set was especially good and if you watch it, keep in mind its key line, "Assume nothing."  Or something like that.  Don't assume anything.  Okay?  But the movie is fabulous and I love Katharine and her coworkers; great single ladies in the city turning the idea of what a woman should be on its head, even today, but not in an overly aggressive, killing their cause way.  And why can't my lack of punctuality be as charming as Katharine's?
Seriously, how fabulous are they?

So there have been lots of movies & writing in my spare time & unfortunately no time for my bloggy.  But now I am back, I am addicted to Twitter on @josiebozie and I am loving this new Blogger layout.  Also, I need more money for clothes & I wish I was able to attend all the Fashion Weeks.

Also, super excited for She & Him to release their Christmas album on October 25.  It will be mine.  Oh yes - it will be mine.

Can it just be the holiday season already?



I leave you with this, in tribute to our gloriously rainy day:




makin' your dreams come true,
